recipe: 5 Bean Salad

5 Bean Salad

1 (15 ounce) can Garbanzo (chickpeas), drained and rinsed
1 (15 ounce) can Kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15 ounce) can Black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15 ounce) can Red beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15 ounce) can Pinto beans or Black-eyed Peas, drained and rinsed

Put all beans in a bowl.  I don't rinse them, but you can if you wish
to.  Then, make dressing:

1 small onion, sliced into thin rings
3/4 cup white sugar
2/3 cup distilled white vinegar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon celery seed

Shake in bottle, then pour on the 5 beans in bowl.  Stir until all is
coated and well mixed.  Best served cold.
